USER EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR HANDLING PUBLIC LAND MOBILE NETWORK SELECTION INVOLVING PROSE COMMUNICATION

Embodiments herein provide a method and User Equipment (UE) for handling PLMN selection involving proximity based services (ProSe) communication. The method includes detecting one of a PLMN selectiondue to the ProSe communication followed by a manual closed subscriber group (CSG) cell selection, and a manual CSG cell selection followed by the PLMN selection due to the Prose communication, when the UE has stored a duplicate value of a registered PLMN (RPLMN) and a duplicate of a PLMN selection mode. Further, the method includes preserving the stored duplicate value of the RPLMN and a stored duplicate of the PLMN selection mode. 本文实施例提供种用于处置涉及基于近距离的服务(ProSe)通信的公共陆地移动网络选择的方法及用户设备(UE)。所述方法包括当用户设备已存储已注册公共陆地移动网络(RPLMN)的重复值及公共陆地移动网络选择模式的重复项时，检测以下中的者：在先进行因基于近距离的服务通信所致的公共陆地移动网络选择之后进行人工闭合用户群组(CSG)小区选择；以及在先进行人工闭合用户群组小区选择之后进行因基于近距离的服务通信所致的公共陆地移动网络选择。此外，所述方法包括保留已注册公共陆地移动网络的所存储重复值及公共陆地移动网络选择模式的所存储重复项。
